So… prom is in about a month and a half, and people have started asking people. There’s a girl who I’m gonna ask, and I know she’s gonna say yes, but I want to ask her in a cool, clever way. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?
Need more input to confidently give advice, but, with that said:
Can you draw? You could do a great sketch of you dancing with the girl at the Prom. Show it to her and say “want to make this drawing a reality” ? Or something like that.
That’s all I got for now.
Hey baby, wanna lose your V card in the back of my parents’ car?
I got nothing. I never went to prom.

What could be cooler? 
I’ll tell you something. You want to say something that will stand out, right? Something unique? I’ve tried a million “cool lines” or clever ways of saying things to girls, but I always end up regretting it. I always end up wishing I could have just said something normal (which, in these situations, ends up being what will stand out most anyhow). For example,
Take One:
Vinnie (in the same tone of voice he might use to ask for a pencil): Hey Rachel, I’d really like to take you to the prom with me. Will you come?
Rachel (surprised and starry-eyed): I’d love to!
Vinnie: Awesome. I’ll see you in class.
Take Two:
Vinnie (in the same tone of voice he would use to ask for a pencil): Hey Rachel, I’d really like to take you to the prom with me. Will you come?
Rachel (surprised): Oh, um, I’m kind of waiting for James to ask me… do you mind?
Vinnie: No that’s okay, I’ll just ask someone else.
Narrator: It’s much easier for everyone this way, it really is. I promise.

I say, don’t ask her if she’ll go with you, TELL her she’s going with you. Even if it doesn’t work she’ll be too surprised to make a scene.
Does she have any pets? If so, leave a picture of her murdered pet in her locker with a note that says “You are next if you don’t go to the prom with me. Have your answer to me before 3rd period.”
Then when she says yes, reveal that the picture was faked in photoshop and her pet is fine. If she does not have pets or you are feeling frisky you can do the same thing with a family member substituted for her pet. But that is kind of forward.
You should to make sure this is not illegal where you live.
The thing many (not all) girls of that age love is public humiliation. Specifically, *your *public humiliation, or the possibility of it. Hence the appeal of the Lloyd Doblers, silly hat wearing public proposals and insane movie stars in love.
So find a way to potentially humiliate yourself, and she’ll be all over you. Just make sure that it doesn’t risk humiliating HER, because then it’s no longer chivalrous and charming, it’s creepy and embarrassing. Fine line, really.
How about sending her flowers to her lunchtable with a note? While her girlfriends squeal and pounce on the flowers, she opens the note that says “look up” or something, and you be standing at the other end of the table with a “Will you go to prom with me?” sign.
Face it, “prom” to many high school girls = mini-wedding. Even if they’re just going with friends, there’s a very bridal feel to the whole damn thing. So make it like a little tiny, nonbinding, wedding proposal, especially since you’re pretty sure she’ll say yes. She’ll love it, and you might get laid.

Why do this with pets and family? Take a picture of her and say this is what you’ll look like if I don’t get a yes before third period.
Hell, it’s almost like drawing a picture of her, you’re just drawing a picture of what she’ll look like sometime in the future. It’s really quite romantic, and girls love that stuff. Of course, you should check on the legality of it first, there are some backwards parts of the world where this kind of courtship is illegal.
Does she drive? I was picking up some kids I watch at their school the other day and I parked next to a car in the parking lot that had some mylar heart balloons tied to the mirrors, a few roses stuck under the wipers and the whole car was covered in rose petals. On the rear window “Will you go to Prom with me?” was written in shoe polish. I thought that was way cool and would have loved it in my teen years. It would have been an automatic, “yes,” no question. The only suggestion I would make would be to maybe use a nice card stuck under her wipers or something instead of the shoe polish, just because it is kind of a pain to have to clean that stuff off.
Agree 100%.
That’s the line you want to use.
I have to agree with some of the posters above.
I’ll give the same advice that men need to listen to when proposing to a woman. For the most part, women don’t want a big production. They don’t want to be asked in front of a million people. They don’t want to be asked on the big screen of a sporting event. They don’t want to bite into a piece of cake with a ring in it. Those are all stupid ideas invented by stupid guys (yes I’m a guy). Men and women are wired differently. (and to reiterate… I’m not saying this applies to everybody). Ask a big question in a sincere way. Try to be in nice surroundings. i.e. nice dinner, give a preamble ala “I love spending time with…” yadda yadda yadda… “Hey Rachel, I’d really like to take you to the prom with me. Will you come?” tm defective detective
I’ll second Defective Detective on this one, unless you know her well as a friend. If that’s the case, adopting a pick-up line tone or doing something slightly silly-romantic (but not too loud or overblown!) is more charming.
I’m surprised nobody has thrown out the ole “get her flowers” trick.
I mean, for prom, in particular (especially if it’s senior prom, some places have junior and senior) you’ll want to do something just make it simple and meaningful.
You know what kinds of things she likes? If you have lockers or know that you’ll see her in class or something, maybe some sort of written invite with an accompanying flower/cute stuffed animal thing going on for at least a little bit of added effect.
Just don’t be one of those people everybody rolls their eyes at.
Like the guy who made a series of signs down the road leading to our school that said as you drove
Laura (or whoever the hell it was)
Will you
Go To
Prom
With Me
Ironically, the traffic is pretty heinous in that area in the morning so of course in reality it took like 5 minutes to get past all the signs

This line of thinking will be your downfall, young Skywalker.
